Let’s you and me/I

  • May 22, 2008, 5:55am

LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table....

- T.S. Eliot, Love Song of Alfred Prufrock.

"Let us you and I" is incorrect. "you and I" here is an appositive, so it should be "Let us, you and I." You and I serve to explain "us."
